ROCCAT Vulcan TKL Pro Tenkeyless Linear Optical Titan Switch PC Gaming Keyboard with Per-key AIMO RGB Lighting, Anodized Aluminum Top Plate, and Detachable USB-C Cable, Black

looks great feels great nice size. volume knob is great. Not a fan of the multimedia keys having to FN and hit the F keys.

Its a really good keyboard for gaming its hands down one of the best keyboards you could buy for its price . When I first saw this keyboard I thought the gaps on the keys would effect my gaming but it didnt it just felt like a normal mechanical keyboard.

Highly recommend. Brings the VSM!!!

good

The sound of this keyboard is the best! Super comfortable for gaming and the speed of the keys also is great for gaming. This keyboard is by far the best I have ever had.

I like everything about this keyboard. The keys have a soft touch finish, similar to luxury car finish interior. It looks amazing. The actuation is a bit short, but I have adapted to it. The caps have a nice curve and each key can be felt separate from the other. Got this on Amazon used for $100, one of the best investments besides for the $20 monitor stand.

It is a very nice keyboard, but not worth $160. I ended up with a Razer Huntsman for almost half that much.

I dig

I decided to get a TKL keyboard for my setup since i already own a G915 tactical and a NK65 V2 aluminum. I wanted to get another mechanical so I decided to pre-order a tkl pro. This keyboard uses their titan optical key switches but they remind me of linear red switches. I have never used such a loud linear switch before. Part of the blame is the key travel seems crazy long but i also think the short keycaps cause my expectations to be similar to the low-profile g915 which it is not! I was able to mitigate the issue by using o-rings/dampeners on the keycaps giving me a nice shorter stroke and less noise if I bottom out, but this did not fix the thunk when the cap moves back upwards so it is still loud and i hope break-in fixes this somewhat. The keycaps are oil magnets btw and to me they feel flimsy, slippery, and cheap (abs). The keycap is relatively small and cuts out part of the normal bottom, but I am not sure if I like this design as they make pudding keycaps to give more lighting if that is what they are trying to do. The switches are mounted directly onto the keyboards top panel which is nice for cleaning. The media controls are also the f9-f12 keys, but you can semi-permanently switch them with fn+del (turns the del key white to show it is switched/active). There is also a dedicated mute button and volume control both of which I do not believe you can re-map. Overall Im not sure why the vulcan tkl pro is so expensive. I wish it came with a magnetic wrist rest for the price like their full-size version, but my wood glorious wrist rest (TKL size) fits perfect. I am not sure if i would purchase a roccat product again as I dont believe there is much value for the money and that is saying a lot as a g915 owner. Edit: i decided to throw on some pbs doubleshot alpherior keys i had laying around, and the difference is huge! no more slippery buttons! Id highly suggest getting new keycaps, all though i kept the original F9-F12 since they are also the media buttons and i also kept INS, HOME, PG-UP, PG-DOWN, DEL, END and the arrow keys and the ctrl key.

Although it looks and sounds nice, I have a really hard time typing on it. I cant even manage to get through a Google keyword search without hitting a new that I didnt mean to. I think its the distance between the keys. The keyboard that I was using before had keys right up against each other, these have a pretty large gap between them, just under a quarter inch. Nonetheless this is my personal home computer keyboard, so I dont do a lot of typing. Hopefully Ill get used to it eventually.
